Advanced Deep Space Communications Methods

-- | April 12, 2015

Question: I am seeking recommendations for learning about advanced deep space communication methods. I visited several libraries and found little about how we presently and are preparing for the future of super fast and high speed communication approaches, including encryption, packet integrity, theories on limits and methods, and organizations now involved in developing the technologies. Please help. Thanks so much. — Lyndon

Answer: Although it is now a bit dated, the proceedings from a conference on Advanced Methods for Satellite and Deep Space Communications from 1992 might have some useful information on this subject. Also, the book Satellite Communication Engineering (second edition) might be of use. These two references are about all I could find on this subject. Hope this helps.

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.
	Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
	The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."
